Team India will start its T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland on June 5. India is in Group A and this group includes Pakistan, USA, Ireland and Canada. Upon entering the Super 8 stage, India can face Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Group-1. The Indian team has played a total of 13 T20 matches in the US and West Indies since 2019, out of which it has won 9. There are three players who will make India win the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy this year. These 3 players are adept at turning the match on their own.
1. Rohit Sharma
This is Rohit Sharma's second T20 World Cup as captain but he is also the most experienced T20 World Cup player as he was part of the team when India won the first and only T20 World Cup in 2007. Rohit has played all 8 editions of the T20 World Cup so far and has scored 963 runs in 39 matches. Apart from Rohit, Shakib Al Hasan is the only player who has played at least one match in all editions of the T20 World Cup so far. Rohit Sharma has played a total of three T20 Internationals this year in which he was out for zero in the first two but in the third T20 International against Afghanistan, he scored a century and played an unbeaten innings of 121 runs. In IPL 2024 too, Rohit scored a total of 417 runs in 14 innings at a strike rate of 150, including a century (105) against Chennai Super Kings. In IPL 2024 too, Rohit scored at a strike rate of 152 during the powerplay, so the Indian team will expect a similar aggressive start from Rohit.
2. Virat Kohli
In IPL 2024, Virat Kohli will enter the T20 World Cup with his best form. Although Kohli has no participation in the T20 World Cup, he is the most successful batsman of this tournament. Kohli has scored 1141 runs in a total of 25 innings played in this tournament so far at an average of 81.5, which includes the highest number of 14 half-centuries. Among the batsmen who have scored at least 400 runs in this tournament, Michael Hussey is second after Kohli's average of 81.5, who has scored 437 runs at an average of 54.62.
3. Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah could not play the last T20 World Cup due to injury. However, in this year's IPL, Bumrah got back into form with his bowling. Bumrah is the only fast bowler in the world to bowl at least 300 balls with an economy of less than seven in T20 cricket this year. Bumrah has bowled only in the T20 format in the IPL this year and during this time his economy was 6.48, which is also his best performance in the IPL so far. In this season of IPL, Bumrah bowled very economically in the death overs, conceding only 6.06 runs per over. Bumrah being in form is a good sign for the Indian team. Bumrah is the most important link in the Indian bowling line-up and in such a situation, the Indian team will have high expectations from him to continue their streak. India's T20 World Cup team is full of spinners, so the additional burden of fast bowling attack will be on Bumrah's shoulders.
Best performance in T20 World Cup
India's best performance in the T20 World Cup was in the first season of the tournament when Team India won the title. After this, the Indian team played the final in 2014 and the semi-finals in 2016 and 2022 but India could not get success. The average age of the Indian T20 team is 30 years. Since the last T20 World Cup, India has played a total of 28 T20 International matches and won 19 of them.
Team India's schedule in group stage
After the match against Ireland, the next match of the Indian team will be against Pakistan on June 9. Two days after facing Pakistan, India will face America on June 12. All three matches will be played in New York. After this, Team India will go to Lauderhill to face Canada on June 15. All Indian matches will start at 8 pm Indian time.
